IF we ever get around to cleaning up the C code that would be great. But 
if we defined an API and SWIG'd it then that would be the API that we 
would clean up to, and it would give us a starting place. And it would 
be doable as a summer project.

I'm just saying ...
And you were asking for ideas ...
